Troubleshooting External Connections

Loose or improperly connected cables are the most likely source of problems
for the system, monitor, and other peripherals (such as a printer, keyboard,
mouse, or other external device). Ensure that all external cables are securely
attached to the external connectors on your system. See Figure 1-2 for the
front-panel connectors and Figure 1-4 for the back-panel connectors on your
system.
